OpenSSL::PKey::DSA

DSA, the Digital Signature Algorithm, is specified in NIST's FIPS 186-3. It is an asymmetric public key algorithm that may be used similar to e.g. RSA.

Public Class Methods

generate(size) → dsa click to toggle source

Creates a new DSA instance by generating a private/public key pair from scratch.

Parameters¶ ↑

size is an integer representing the desired key size.

 
               static VALUE

{
    DSA *dsa = dsa_generate(NUM2INT(size)); /* err handled by dsa_instance */
    VALUE obj = dsa_instance(klass, dsa);

Returns a new DSA instance that carries just the public key information. If the current instance has also private key information, this will no longer be present in the new instance. This feature is helpful for publishing the public key information without leaking any of the private information.

Example¶ ↑

dsa = OpenSSL::PKey::DSA.new(2048) # has public and private information
pub_key = dsa.public_key # has only the public part available
pub_key_der = pub_key.to_der # it's safe to publish this

 
               static VALUE
ossl_dsa_to_public_key(VALUE self)
{
    EVP_PKEY *pkey;
    DSA *dsa;
    VALUE obj;

    GetPKeyDSA(self, pkey);
    /* err check performed by dsa_instance */
#define DSAPublicKey_dup(dsa) (DSA *)ASN1_dup( \

    dsa = DSAPublicKey_dup(EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(pkey));
#undef DSAPublicKey_dup
    obj = dsa_instance(rb_obj_class(self), dsa);

    }
    return obj;
}

set_key(pub_key, priv_key) → self click to toggle source

Sets pub_key and priv_key for the DSA instance. priv_key may be nil.

set_pqg(p, q, g) → self click to toggle source

Sets p, q, g to the DSA instance.

syssign(string) → aString click to toggle source

Computes and returns the DSA signature of string, where string is expected to be an already-computed message digest of the original input data. The signature is issued using the private key of this DSA instance.

Parameters¶ ↑

string is a message digest of the original input data to be signed.

Example¶ ↑

dsa = OpenSSL::PKey::DSA.new(2048)
doc = "Sign me"
digest = OpenSSL::Digest::SHA1.digest(doc)
sig = dsa.syssign(digest)

 
               static VALUE
ossl_dsa_sign(VALUE self, VALUE data)
{
    DSA *dsa;
    const BIGNUM *dsa_q;
    unsigned int buf_len;
    VALUE str;

    GetDSA(self, dsa);
    DSA_get0_pqg(dsa, NULL, &dsa_q, NULL);
    if (!dsa_q)
        ossl_raise(eDSAError, "incomplete DSA");
    if (!DSA_PRIVATE(self, dsa))
        ossl_raise(eDSAError, "Private DSA key needed!");
    StringValue(data);
    str = rb_str_new(0, DSA_size(dsa));
    if (!DSA_sign(0, (unsigned char *)RSTRING_PTR(data), RSTRING_LENINT(data),
                  (unsigned char *)RSTRING_PTR(str),
                  &buf_len, dsa)) { /* type is ignored (0) */
        ossl_raise(eDSAError, NULL);
    }
    rb_str_set_len(str, buf_len);

    return str;
}

sysverify(digest, sig) → true | false click to toggle source

Verifies whether the signature is valid given the message digest input. It does so by validating sig using the public key of this DSA instance.

Parameters¶ ↑

digest is a message digest of the original input data to be signed
sig is a DSA signature value

Example¶ ↑

dsa = OpenSSL::PKey::DSA.new(2048)
doc = "Sign me"
digest = OpenSSL::Digest::SHA1.digest(doc)
sig = dsa.syssign(digest)
puts dsa.sysverify(digest, sig) # => true

 
               static VALUE
ossl_dsa_verify(VALUE self, VALUE digest, VALUE sig)
{
    DSA *dsa;
    int ret;

    GetDSA(self, dsa);
    StringValue(digest);
    StringValue(sig);
    /* type is ignored (0) */
    ret = DSA_verify(0, (unsigned char *)RSTRING_PTR(digest), RSTRING_LENINT(digest),
                     (unsigned char *)RSTRING_PTR(sig), RSTRING_LENINT(sig), dsa);
    if (ret < 0) {
        ossl_raise(eDSAError, NULL);
